I’m a multidisciplinary product designer with 12 years experience specializing in applying a human-centered approach to 0 to 1 product development. I’ve spent the past 4 years at Kalderos, a Series B healthtech startup, building out the product design discipline. Previously, I worked in innovation consulting, at IA Collaborative, as an industrial designer & strategist, developing products and strategy for global clients, startups and fortune 100 companies.
Living in Bozeman, MT, I can generally be found outside, hiking with our new pup, fishing for trout on the rivers from Wisconsin to Montana, skiing and recently attempting to nordic ski (somehow harder than downhill).
